Community gardens

From 25 April, or Saint Mark’s Day, Lithuanians would start working in their gardens and plant carrots first. Urban gardening is also gaining popularity in Vilnius. In Pilaitė, city residents have been cultivating the “Bed of Ideas” for five seasons, while in Sapieha Palace Park, the residents of Antakalinis now have both outdoor beds and a hydroponic garden that is open all year round. Carrots and beetroots are grown even in the Old Town.
